St Raphaels Catholic Primary School

Church Find welcomes St Raphaels Catholic Primary School in South Hurstville, who engaged in a revitalisation journey enriching the community, for all their latest times and information including times.

St. Raphael’s is part of the Sydney Catholic Archdiocese and has a proud tradition of educational excellence, tracing its history back to the arrival of four Sisters of Charity in 1929.

Our hope is that every child’s heart and mind will be touched in a very special way because of their time at St. Raphael’s. We hope that the children find it a place of friendship, joy, discovery, challenge and grace. We hope they leave our school knowing that they can make our world a much better place by the way in which they live their life.

The staff members of St. Raphael’s are aware of the privilege that is theirs in sharing with parents the role of educating children in the many facets of human and faith development. Together we work to enable each child to develop his/her full potential and uniqueness as an individual within the context of our Catholic community. I think everyone would recognise that this is not an easy task in today’s world, but what we do on a daily basis is share in the journey of our young little people as they discover who they are, what they are capable of achieving, and what their place is in the world.

The words of our school mission statement express and hold the key to the centre of energy that gives meaning to all of our endeavours at St Raphael's.  Many communities in our world long for peace and harmony. We believe that we can make a difference through what we do and how we do it on a daily basis as we continue to strive to live in a spirit of harmony, committed to be messengers of hope and healing in our world.
